I. INTRODUCTION
YouTube is the world's most renowned electronic video site, with customers watching 4 billion hours of video consistently, and
moving 72 hours of video reliably (YouTube, 2013). YouTube began in February 2005 and was set up by Chad Hurley, SteveChen,
and Jawed Karim who named it "YouTube.com". Through the YouTube stage, people started to make a video-sharing site on which
customers could move, deal, and view accounts. From here on out, YouTube has obtained a horde of individuals of billions of
customers including educators and scientists. Data Analysis and Mining are becoming fundamental to receive the significant
examples in return. Regardless, an enormous piece of the Data made is generally in Huge Size and comes in unstructured course
of action. Enormous
Data can't be examined by ordinary informational collection structures and cycles. To decide this issue, numerous new gadgets that
execute Parallel Processing are being sent in these affiliations. We utilized informational collection from Kaggle of a particular day
and performed Data Analysis on the data to comprehension into latest examples and customer responsibility in YouTube concerning
Classes. Data Investigation and Visualization was done using Google Collaboratory. Examination of coordinated data has seen
colossal achievement previously. In any case, assessment of huge extension unstructured data as video configuration remains a
troublesome area.
YouTube, a Google association, has north of a billion customers and produces billions of points of view. Since YouTube data is
getting made in an especially colossal aggregate and with a correspondingly extraordinary speed, there is a gigantic interest to
store, process and circumspectly focus on this tremendousproportion of data to make it usable.
II. EXISTING SYSTEM

Existing system predicts YouTube views with a certain amount of accuracy. During the analysis of previous papers, we choose
certain algorithms which have a greater accuracy rate and also included certain parameters which improves the accuracy and
prediction. This gives rise to proposed system.
III. PROPOSED SYSTEM

The proposed system mainly focuses on YouTube views and category prediction. By Considering the tags of the video, we predict
the YouTube views using Random Forest Regressor. And also, we predict the categories for the given titles of YouTube videos. We
analyze the data and bring more insights for the content creators so that would be helpful for them.

IV. IMPLEMENTATION
This Paper “YouTube data analysis & Prediction of views and categories” focuses on analyzing the YouTube data to infer some
important information which is useful for content creators and predicting the number of views of a video by considering the
YouTube tags & predicting YouTube categories by taking the YouTube title into consideration.
We have used dataset from Kaggle and imported the required packages. The data set contains 82430rows &16columns. Apart from
our dataset we have a JSON file which has categories of videos but categories names is not included in taken dataset, so we have
extracted and appended an extra column in the data set & given the categories by linking the category id for each row We used the
category column to get important information from theYouTube dataset & visualized the given data to showsome important results.
We have analyzed the YouTube data & inferred some of the insights from the data so that would be helpful for new content
creators. We have observed that the same video can be on trending various times for consecutive days. We can see the difference
in the number of views, likes, dislikes, comment count as the time progresses. While working with the information we've seen that
numerous video pattern on different occasions. We check which channels trended the most times. We get to know which videos
trended most of the times. We have also inferred the top ten videos which are filtered using number of views count so that we can
analyze which type of videos is being watched most by the users. We have also extracted the total number of videos belonging to
each category so that we can get know which type of videos are being uploaded by content creators in order to grow their channel.
A. Analysis On Channels And Their Trending Videos

Just by checking channels & trending videos count, we can get which channels produce most trending videos. This should be
possible utilizing the functions from panda's libraries on information outline containing the number of times the channel was on
trending section. Amount of count for each channel is determined & afterward plotted in diagram with the assistance of python's
matplotlib.

B. Analysis On Categories And Their Trending Videos

We can use classification algorithms to classify the categories of videos with their number of trending videos count to understand
which category has more trending videos. Shows the channels which have biggest number of trending videos
Fig.2 Top 10 categories which have largestnumber of trending videos
C. Analysis On Title Keywords

With the assistance of python and pandas library we can get the most widely recognized words in video titles subsequent to
eliminating the standard organizing words, for example, articles, relational words and consolidating words, for example, a, an, the,
yet and so forth
Overlooking words like "the" and "of", we can see that the words Punjabi, tune, Taarak, Mehta showed up additional.
Beneath graph addresses a word cloud to envision most normal words in titles of our Trending Videos. The more normal the words
is, will be greater in text dimension. This should be possible utilizing python libraries, for example, matplotlib and word count
library.

D. Analysis On Best Time To Upload Videos

By removing distributing time for each video with recordings count for each time allotment we can see best an ideal opportunity for
a moving video to get transferred and distributed. Hence by using algorithm like regression we can predict that a video published in
a given time slot having certain set of features can trend ornot.

E. Comments, Likes And Ratings For Top10 Trending Channels

Correlation represents as value between +1, 0 and - 1 where +1 denotes highly positive correlation, -1 denotes highly negative
correlation and 0 denotes Nocorrelation.
F. Analysis On Video Tags

At the point when you transfer a video to YouTube, you can add labels to the video. Labels can't show on the video page yet you can
see labels by review the source code of the page or utilizing program expansions
Indeed, by utilizing word count library and matplotlib we can make a picture comprising of the best number of words utilized
in theselabels.

G. Correlation Matrix
Using correlation matrix, we can determine the relation between one column and other column i.e., we get the relationship between
categoryId, view_count, likes, dislikes, comment_count, comments_disabled, ratings_disabled. We can observe in fig.

Guileless Bayes calculation is a managed learning calculation, which depends on Bayes hypothesis and utilized for taking care of
order issues.
It is chiefly utilized in text arrangement that incorporates a high-layered preparing dataset.
Naive Bayes Classifier is one of the basic and best Classification calculations which helps in building the quick AI models that can
make fast expectations.
We have constructed another naive bayes model to anticipate the classification for a specific title of a video via preparing the model
to decide the classification of a video by fitting the counts and target esteems where the counts contain the series of words utilizing
count vectorizer and targets is the count of classification id esteems. The Naive Bayes Algorithm scored an exactness of 85% and
afterward we give a few theoretical titles to foresee for, we embed the titles into naive bayes model and anticipate the categories of
those titles.
V. RESULTS
A. Model
We developed the AI model utilizing the Random Forest Regressor by taking the labels of the video for anticipating the you tube
sees.
We have pre-handled the labels by eliminating the images and prevent words from the labels so we have just the fundamental
words and can stay away from the un-vital words. we have utilized the Count Vectorizer work which gives a straightforward
approach to both tokenize an assortment of text reports and construct a jargon of known words, yet in addition to encode new
archives utilizing that jargon.
So first, we instate the "Count Vectorizer" object, which is scikit-learn's sack of words instrument.
Count Vectorizer accompanies its own choices tonaturally do preprocessing, tokenization, and stop word expulsion. fit_transform ()
completes two capacities: First, it fits the model and learns the jargon; second, it changes our preparation information into highlight
vectors. The contribution to fit_transform ought to be a rundown of strings. Furthermore, we changed over the outcome into a
NumPy exhibit so the computations would besimple.
Then, at that point, Fit the woodland to the preparation set, involving the sack of words as elements and the perspectives names as
the reaction variable and anticipate the quantity of perspectivesby looking at the words in youtube labels.

VI. CONCLUSION
This paper focuses on the analysis of YouTube data and prediction of YouTube views by considering the tags for a particular video
and also classifying the category of a video by taking the title of video. Random forest regressor was used for the YouTube views
prediction. By analyzing this YouTube data, content creators can get to know the right time at which they can upload the video and
also likewise they can get more inferences from the analysis we have made so that would be helpful for them in order to grow their
channel.
VII. FUTURE WORK
we can integrate our model and implement a website so that would be easily accessible to everyone. Recommendation system can
be built for giving title for videos based on categories so that the videos can go trending.
